Its kinda boring I guess. The league started in 2000, after the Great War (lame I know, but whatever). The league started from scratch, the way the early major leagues began, but with more credability and a more thought out format. 12 cities in the north, central, and eastern US were tabbed as the starting point of the league, as the west and south were heavily damaged from the war.
Foriegner percentage is set at eight percent, as most foreigners now stay away from the US because of their past global policies. This will change in time, along with further expansion, but this is how it is for now.
All teams are patterned after former major league teams. I found each city on yahoo maps and picked suburbs around the city to be minor league towns. This was actually pretty fun, as I found some amusing names. It also helps to give me some familiarity to the minor league teams.
I use full minors and both high school and college feeder leagues.
The final twist is something I do with all of my leagues. Using the Lahman data base, I import ten or so so players into the league every couple of years and I follow their progress. This is the best part of the league, for me, and is another way to get involved in the other teams.
Thats about it, off the top of my head. I'll post more if I can think of anything. Interested in others ideas.
